Hi my name is Ronan
Short. I am 16 years old and am from Newtown Mt Kennedy Co. Wicklow.
My interest in horses
started when I was 11 years old and I started doing lessons in a riding school
on the weekends. After a few years of
lessons we got a couple of Ponies for ourselves and began hunting and
showjumping. I only became interested in
racing when I began riding out for a friend of my dads who used to be a jockey
and kept a few point to pointers in his livery yard. I heard about RACE a couple of years ago and
have been interested in coming here since. I got a trial week which was hard
work but when I heard the news I got accepted I was delighted. We are in our eleventh week now and the first
group of trainees should be going out soon on workplacement.
